	Background: This article reports on a young male with respiratory symptoms as the first presentation. Methods: We identified the suspected pathogen by microscopic examination of blood smears, which was subsequently confirmed by blood culture. Results: The patient was confirmed to be infected with Talaromyces marneffei, and further testing revealed that he was a patient with HIV co-infected with syphilis. Conclusions: With heavy fungemia the organisms may be seen on the peripheral blood smear, which can facilitate prompt diagnosis and treatment. DOI: 10.7754/Clin.Lab.2023.230523
